As we all know 50 Days Lent (Great Lent) started from 10th Feb 2013 . The 25 Days Lent starts from - 6th March 2013 Luke 4:1-4 says "Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry." If we have not observed Lent yet , let us start from March 6th and prepare ourselves to rejoice at the resurrection of Jesus Christ at Easter. Let us set good examples for the younger generation .

The rst Good Friday Service of Perth Marthoma Parish
BY MRS MARY JOHN
Remembering our humble beginnings and themilestones ofgrowth are opportunities to praise and thank God, for a young parish like ours. Memories of our rst Good Friday Service in April 2009 are still fresh in the mind.When our Parish committee decided to have the service on Good Friday morning-the only one in all passion week- I thought it was beyond our abilities. No achen,none very familiar with the Passion week prayers and Chants in Malayalam. We could not say how many would turn up leaving the congregation where they now worship , whether it is possible to have a kanji session following the long service and where it will be. However we proceeded. Kuruvilla Mathewbooked theMurdoch WorshipCentre (which we had not seen till that day) before he left for Easterholidays. Philsy and wife Susan familiarised us with the Malayalam Chants.( he got the tune thro' mobile phone from his dad in Tiruvella). He along with Vijay, the lay leader conducted the service. Wesang the Chants loud and prostrated. The choir sang few English and Malayalam hymns. Late Dr.Thomas Varghese gave a powerful message. C. J. John prononced the benediction.It was a beautiful service and all were happy. Sevika Sangham had taken over the kanji Project, researched and found out a bowl big enough to hold payar thoran, pappadam, kachiya moru and pickle with kanji. We gathered again in Piney Lakes with the food warmed up. A pick up van was there to hold and serve food,chairs and carpets to sit under the shady trees and our fellowship extended for another hour. As there was no otherGood Friday service in the traditional way those days, members from sister churches participated making the number about 50. It was a miracle that every thing went off very smoothly. Yes , nothing is impossible for the great God if we humbly submit ourselves and be willing to be used by Him for His glory.
